In the summer of 2008, five guys came to the basketball court at Queen’s Quay and Bathurst. Religiously, every Monday night, they stayed until the lights turned off. They didn’t come to watch. They didn’t come to pray. They came to play.
Monday Nights is an immersive and interactive theatrical performance. It’s a basketball bromance.
Choose to watch or play, everyone is welcome.
